Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition is reasonable and necessary to maintain the external appearance of the boundary wall
What decided it
The condition requiring white paint finish was unenforceable because it required third-party consent from neighbours and was not necessary to protect character and appearance or neighbour amenities, as a 2m boundary wall could be built as permitted development.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PP27
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
